Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • How to best help people with serious mental illness follow HIV treatment regimens

    baseline, 3, 12 and 24 months

Study Arms (2)

1 - Experimental

EXPERIMENTAL
Behavioral: Use of Memory Aids to take medications

2 - Control

NO INTERVENTION

Interventions

Experimental participants will receive an integrated intervention tailored to the communication and comprehension of the individual, and will include memory aid devices, education regarding side effects and other treatment aspects, and active community outreach. For those who fail to adhere using the basic intervention, a treatment cascade that increases in intensity will be implemented. Using 80% adherence as a target, the cascade will include involvement of family and significant others in prompting participants through use of beepers, cellphones, and for those who still fall short of 80% adherence, directly observed therapy.
